.. Grossi Op. 8 |
| | Description: | Giuseppe Torelli, whose native land was Veneto, is deservedly included among the composers who contributed
to the renown and success of the Bolognese School, which was undoubtedly one of the keystones of Italian
Baroque music, together with the Venetian, Roman and Neapolitan Schools. Torelliâ??s production that has been
handed down to us includes almost 200 works, most of them chamber-music instrumental compositions and
orchestral pieces with solo performers. Eight of these works are in print, practically all of them published in
Bologna from 1686 onwards. The 12 concerti grossi con una Pastorale per il Santissimo Natale, posthumous work no.
8 from 1709, published by Felice Torelli, brother of the composer and celebrated painter, are undoubtedly his
most inspired work, and not only for their extremely high musical quality. The collection is divided into two
parts: six pieces are actual Concerti Grossi, while the other six are Concerti for violin and orchestra. The solo
violinists Jérémie Chigioni and Roberto Noferini (already interpreter of the worldâ??s first recording of Paganiniâ??s
Capricci on historical violin, v. Tactus tc 781690) are at the head of the Ensemble Locatelli from Bergamo,
concerted and directed by Chiara Cattani. - .. GROSSI OP. 8Diogenio Bigaglia, a composer who at present is unknown to most people, was active in Venice in the first half of the eighteenth century, so he was a contemporary of the much better known Tomaso Albinoni, Alessandro and Benedetto Marcello, and, above all, Antonio Vivaldi, whose work shows several evident - and more or less explicit - references to Bigaglia's production. So he turns out to be a composer who is worthy of interest not only for the intrinsic musical worth of his works, but also for the influence his activity may have had on musicians with whom we are more familiar; this is why musicologists have recently started showing an increasing interest in him. This recording presents the complete "12 Sonate a Violino Solo o Sia Flauto e Violoncello o Basso Continuo Opera prima del Signor Bigaglia Padre Benedettino", as this work is called in the title page of the edition published in Amsterdam by Michel Charles Le Cène around 1722. Davide Belosio solo violin interprets this world premiere recording accompanied by I Solisti Ambrosiani, already protagonists of a previous release dedicated to the rediscovery of the Venetian composer (v. Diogenio Bigaglia, Cantate per soprano e continuo, Tactus, TC670203).With "Torelli: 12 Concerti Grossi op.8," the renowned musicians Noferini, Chigioni, and Ensemble Locatelli present a masterful interpretation of Giuseppe Torelli's celebrated collection on this CD from Tactus. These concerti grossi are exemplary works of the late Baroque period, showcasing intricate dialogues between soloists and ensemble with expressive depth and technical brilliance. The performers bring historical insight and vibrant energy to each piece, highlighting Torelli?s influence on later composers such as Vivaldi and Handel. Noferini is acclaimed for his virtuosity in Baroque violin repertoire, while Chigioni is recognized for her refined continuo playing; together with Ensemble Locatelli?a group dedicated to historically informed performances?they have received critical praise across Europe for their dynamic interpretations. Tactus, an Italian label specializing in early music recordings, has built a reputation since its founding in 1986 for high-quality productions that revive lesser-known gems of Italian musical heritage. | | | Manufacturer No.: |
